I definitely agree regarding having a 1.8 kHz filter for SSB is a positive attribute.   In fact both of my radios have 1.8 kHz filters. And by reducing the DSP BW to 1.8 kHz and shifting the PBT, one would be amazed at how well a SSB signal really sounds. Certainly worth the investment in my experience.
